Insert meme “look at me, I’m the Conservative Party now”
I strongly believe that an MP shouldn’t be allowed to change party affiliation after being elected, but this is the system we have and I can’t imagine it will change.
But seriously, all this does is tell me that Carney is Harper v2.
We need to stop pretending people only vote based on party. Tons of people don’t even know the difference between the parties. I usually vote based on a candidates commitment to local issues, my parents always vote for the most Chinese candidate, my uncle just votes for the one with kids, I have friends who are single issue voters and only care about a candidates position on Isreal or gun control regardless of party, and I have coworkers who just vote the same colour every year.
They pick the MP that represents them the best. A lot of times that’s based on the platform their party is running, and if that MP believes in the platform of another party later on, they should absolutely cross the floor to represent their constituents to the best of their abilities. To pretend party is the only thing Canadians think about at the ballot box means you’re much too deep in the team sports of politics and don’t know how regular people view elections.
